An attempt was made to improve the protein quality supplied in milk replacers containing soy protein by supplementing Thr, Met, and Lys to the milk replacers fed to calves. Six Holstein x indigenous male calves were fitted with single cannulas at the end of the ileum. Calves were fed milk replacers containing skim milk (86%) and whey (14%) proteins or skim (43%), whey (14%), and soy (43%) proteins either with or without amino acid (AA) supplementation according to a double 3 x 3 Latin square design. Average daily gain, N retention, and ileal digestibilities of dry matter, N, and AA were significantly higher for calves fed the milk replacer containing skim milk protein than for calves fed the milk replacer containing soy protein. Average daily gain, N retention, and ileal digestibilities of dry matter, N, and AA were significantly higher for calves fed the milk replacer containing soy protein plus AA supplementation than for calves fed the milk replacer containing the soy protein without AA supplementation. Therefore, supplementation of a milk replacer containing soy protein with limiting AA that correspond to the AA found in milk protein can considerably improve the protein quality of that milk replacer for the preruminant calf.
Key Words: calves • milk replacers • soy proteins • amino acid digestibility
